    Abstract This Perspective highlights the work of Dr. Daniela Novick in the field of cytokine biology. Using affinity chromatography to characterize cytokine-binding proteins, she identified soluble forms of the receptors as well as binding proteins for several cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor, interleukin (IL) 6, IL-18 and IL-32. Importantly, her work has been key in the development of monoclonal antibodies against interferons and cytokines. This Perspective discusses her contribution to the field and highlights her recent review on this topic.

    Abstract Communication among cells (also known as cross-talk) plays a prominent role in the current knowledge of the pathophysiology of cancer and of cancer-associated conditions such as paraneoplastic syndromes and cachexia that are responsible for much of cancer's morbidity and mortality. Yet, biomedical scientists lack an explicit unifying frame that places this exchange of molecular information at the core of their understanding of cancer as a systemic disease. Propaganda is a type of information that aims at misleading, a form of communication intended primarily to serve the messenger. The biased molecular cross-talk between cancer and non-cancer cells can be considered as a form of biological propaganda. I here propose cancer is a propagandist as a metaphor that may serve as a unifying frame to interpret both cancer and cancer-associated syndromes under the same communication-based concept and may thus serve to bring together research that is currently compartmentalized under separate disciplines.

    Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD), a heterogeneous disease with no disease-modifying treatments available, is the fastest growing neurological disease worldwide. Currently, physical exercise is the most promising treatment to slow disease progression, with evidence suggesting it is neuroprotective in animal models. The onset, progression, and symptom severity of PD are associated with low grade, chronic inflammation which can be quantified by measuring inflammatory biomarkers. In this perspective, we argue that C-reactive protein (CRP) should be used as the primary biomarker for monitoring inflammation and therefore disease progression and severity, particularly in studies examining the impact of an intervention on the signs and symptoms of PD. CRP is the most studied biomarker of inflammation, and it can be detected using relatively well-standardized assays with a wide range of detection, allowing for comparability across studies while generating robust data. An additional advantage of CRP is its ability to detect inflammation irrespective of its origin and specific pathways, an advantageous characteristic when the cause of inflammation remains unknown, such as PD and other chronic, heterogeneous diseases.

    Abstract Circulating levels of adiponectin (APN) are reduced in obesity and associated comorbidities, with inflammation playing an important role in downregulating APN production. In contrast to obesity and metabolic disease, elevated systemic and local levels of APN are present in patients with inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases, including autoimmune and pulmonary conditions, heart and kidney failure, viral hepatitis, organ transplantation and perhaps critical illness. A positive association between inflammation and APN is usually reported in inflammatory/immune pathologies, in contrast with the negative correlation typical of metabolic disease. This review discusses the role of APN in modulation of inflammation and immunity and the potential mechanisms leading to increased levels of APN in inflammatory/immune diseases, including modification of adipose tissue physiology; relative contribution of different tissues and adipose depots; hormonal, pharmacological, nutritional and life style factors; the potential contribution of the microbiota as well as the role of altered APN clearance and release from T-cadherin-associated tissue reservoirs. Potential reasons for some of the apparently contradictory findings on the role of APN as a modulator of immunity and inflammation are also discussed, including a comparison of types of recombinant APN used for in vitro studies and strain-dependent differences in the phenotype of APN KO mice.
